Supercross track scale

[Sweendoggy]

I liked 1:25 scale much better. It felt more realistic to me. With 100% scaling, I feel like my bike barely even fits on the step on/offs, where as on 125% scaling the bike fits better, but def. still feels like a supercross track. 125% is much funner to race and try to get more aggressive on as well.

I choose 1:1 because 1:25 is too much, i though I was playing on some MotocrossMadness tracks : big jumps (only) ! I'm (trying to) making a replica of a local track and finally i use a 110% scale.
Can you expand all the reasons for that, why 1:1 tracks seems little in game ?
And if bikes jump more than in reality, i hope some fix, maybe temporary some adjustements, could help us to keep 1:1 because for a 'simulator' sound like a base. We should always work at 1:1 scale, although maybe, multiplier could be a final setting (don't have to replace decals, etc).

I believe it's just the camera angles. If you look at real helmet cam footage it's the same way. A real sized track looks tiny with a wide FOV from the rider's viewpoint. The real sized track would probably look right if you were looking through VR goggles.

Can you improve the editor (a lot to do !) to work with differents scales also, or maybe someone doing a tool can add a scaller for coords in decals and objects files and optionnaly for graphic files too. I have to do this on my track, i think i will try to scale coords with 'Excell like apps'.
offtopic : to add to the list (+layer managment in decals, +azerty keyboards are not supported in editor (and cam is awfull to control in spec) -> improve ALL key/axis customisation, and if you do that, add multiple entries, for each function (mini 2) thx)

I've been planning on writing an external editor in AS3. I interested in how well AS3 works for real applications.

I prefer 125. Actually, I prefer 150. The ax I was working on, I could clear jumps up to 70ft in first gear. I never left 1st gear the entire way around the track. From my real life experience riding that track, the start straight is 3rd gear easy. When I bumped it up to 150% scale it started to feel better. When i added more rolling resistance it felt the best.

I tried that but 150% seemed way too big to me. It was more like a truck track that way.

I can't get it to work, clicked save as and put in personal folder, but nothing shows up..Am I doing something wrong?

[Rallemx]

Got it working now, sorry for double post.
I prefer the 125% scale

this is what ive told ddmx, remember WE ARE playing a game with 10 + other people.


there needs to be room to have 1-3 people go in a section at any given time, and keeping it real its hard to hold a damn line most of the time so you need some leeway room.

wider tracks = better racing, less crashing, less collisions etc.

Hard to say because I didnt have a controller, but I think 100% might be better. Thing is, if I had a controller, I would be going faster, so the jumps might not flow as well with 100%

I went with 1.25:1. Hopefully the extra room will make it better for racing.

JLV Supercross series? Or just A1?

[jlv]

I'm going to do the whole series. I'm thinking 9 PM EST every Wednesday before the real race.

Hectic

1.25, but the triples need more lip.

SICK!... Hope it works out well. Way to schedule it on the one night a week that I work...LOL

It could be Thursday instead.

DJ, it's going to be insanely hectic. I'm not sure if I'll be able to turn the tracks out that fast or not. I guess it's a matter of how much I'm willing to lower my standards...

Here's a prerelease version. The tuff blocks (I know they're hay right now) are partly solid. The collision objects are shaped a little like speed bumps. They won't necessarily wreck you, but you don't want to ride on them either. I'd like feedback on whether that's a horrible idea or not.

You can count me in for every race!!

Just tried the prerelease. I think they need to be made a bit more harsh than that. Hitting a tough block should be a slight annoyance/hindrance, not like the Garden State Parkway slowdown bumps going into the toll plazas

Dang cant make it, 4am here in your 9pm...
Well i can just hope to see some demos and stuff!
